The stock herein listed is of our own growth, 
on especially well adapted Columbia River 
bench land without irrigation. 
We have for the last 20 years been the main 
source of supply to commercial orchardists in 
Clark county, one of the large fruit districts 
in the Northwest. 
We live with our trees and shrubs, and see 
that they are properly grown. Our stock merits 
the name HIGH GRADE. 
The propagating wood for the fruit and nut 
trees we offer, has practically all been person¬ 
ally selected from vigorous, heavy-bearing 
true to name as well as true to type stock. 
We try to keep up on all proven varieties 
both as to commercial and home orchard value 
adapted to the Pacific Northwest. 
If interested in stock not listed let us know. 
We are in touch with most other reliable 
sources of supply. 
CHERRIES

tree of this class, and they are priced accord¬ 
ingly. 
Bing and Royal Ann.$2.00 each 
Bing, Royal Ann, Lambert. 2.50 each 
Bing, Royal Ann, Montmorency. 2.50 each

SPECIAL—We have to offer this season, a 
limited number of cherry trees suitable for 
small homes or on city lots where space is 
limited. A cherry tree top grafted, two or more 
kinds to same trunk, priced as follows. 
Might say here, that where there are cherry 
trees nearby the combination with pollenizer is 
not necessary, as two or more sweet cherries 
will cross pollenize themselves. 
PEARS 
Bartlett and Fall Butter.$1.50 each 
APPLES 
$1.50 each. 
Heavy transplanted 3-year trees, $2.00 each. 
Imp. Jonathan and Northern Spy. 
Red Delicious and Yellow Delicious. 
Imp. Jonathan and Transcendant Crab. 
Rome Beauty and Winesap. 
EARLY KINDS 
Red Astraelian and Gravenstein. 
Wealthy and McIntosh Red. 
NOTE—The first named kind is the original 
tree on which the other kind is grafted. 
Combination top grafted trees are becoming 
generally recognized as an entirely practicable 
need. 
As is well known, most fruits bear better 
where more than one species is planted, as it 
avoids the self-sterile or partly self-sterile 
condition of many kinds of fruit trees. 
Due to lack of space the home owner can¬ 
not plant the proper assortment, consequently 
finds his fruit trees do not bear as they should. 
After this discovery he may have them top 
grafted at much greater expense than above 
priced trees, and often with indifferent suc¬ 
cess, and loss in bearing years. 
Supply is limited and cannot guarantee 
selection far in season.

Hints on Transplanting 1 
1. Do not allow roots to be exposed to sun, 
drying winds, or frost. 
2. Prune, with a sharp, clean cut, any brok¬ 
en or injured roots. 
3. Have holes dug large enough to admit all 
roots without cramping. 
4. Plant in fine loam, enriched with thor¬ 
oughly decomposed manure. 
5. Do not allow any green unfermented 
manure to come in contact with roots. 
6. Spread out roots in natural position, and 
work fine loam in among them, making it firm 
and compact. 
7. Do not plant too deep. Let upper roots be 
set an inch lower than before. 
8. Remove all broken branches, and cut back 
at least one-half of the previous year’s growth 
of wood. 
9. If season lacks the usual rainfall, water 
thoroughly twice a week. 
10. After culture! Keep soil in a good degree 
of fertility. Mulching the trees in autumn 
• with manure is beneficial.
